JOHNCOCK SETS NEW WELSH RECORD
Former Colwyn Bay sprinter Rachel Johncock (Swansea) produced her best-ever performance to take silver in the 60 metres at the Great Britain indoor championships in Sheffield.
The Loughborough student won her heat and semi-final, in which she set a pb of 7.37 seconds, and in the final lowered it again to 7.33, a new Welsh record. The race was won by the clear favourite, England's Dinah Asher-Smith.
Another North Wales sprinter in top form was Deeside's Shannon Malone, who was first U20 in 7.60, also a pb.
Commonwealth Games silver medallist Sally Peake (Birchfield) from Hawarden was delighted to take gold in the pole vault with a clearance of 4.25m, well clear of runner-up Abigail Roberts.
Another record-breaker was Welspool's Adele Nicoll (Birchfield), who won the U20 shot and was fifth overall with a best effort of 14.87m.
Wrexham's Hannah Thomas finished 4th in her 60m heat in 25.08, albeit a season's best and her clubmate Megan Rogers also recorded a season's best of 55.36 in coming 4th in the 400m.
